最近看到两篇很有感觉的文章,摘录于下:
[我年轻时所不了解的事情]
翻译者说:虽然我还没那么老,但看了lifehack上这篇文章列举的“我年轻时所不了解的事情”,还是感到心有戚戚。红色标出的是我感受最深的话,你觉得呢?
[Write Articles, Not Blog Postings]
To treat every entry on the blog as an standalone article that is valuable even after years is a very good way to think of blog.
What is a Blog?
The word blog refer to too many things, in just one word.
Blogging means the behavior to create one journal per day (or at other fixed frequency). You can blog without a blogging tool. Paper and pen, for example, are good for blogging (if you share what you write publicly).
Blog also means the result of creative work of bloggers. Blog refers to the articles on a blog, or created by a blog software, or created by a blogger, or of any combination of these three elements. For example, a blogger without using blogging tool, or a non-blogger with a blogging tool.
Blogger, of cause, refers to the person who blogs - like
me.
Separation of Blog and Articles
The idea to write an article per day is great. When I do reflection about why I started blog, I remember the initial thoughts was just to write one article per day, no matter what topic I write. If you look at the first few articles I wrote, you get some idea about what Wangjianshuo's blog initially looks like:

Well. As you can see, there is no Shanghai information at the very begining. Later, when the time past by, and I found by sharing my personal life, I am sharing about what is happening in this city, and then the blog became THE Shanghai blog. This, of cause, didn't change the initial idea of writing an article every day and accumulate something big. This exactly echo what Jacob suggested: write articles, not blog, although I am using a blogging tool, and write daily, and I am called a blogger.
I hope I share my small piece of history with my readers who also write blog, and we all remember to create something valuable for Internet, instead of creating noises, or information pollutions on the Internet.
Maybe (I guess) the biggest difference between my blog and millions of other blogs is, I am writing articles that is useful, maybe only after several month when a real traveler found the site, and he/she happens to be on the road in the next few days or weeks. So keep what I am proud of.
So, I want to look back with my readers together and refresh the belief of writing articles instead of blogs.
当然,稍微区别于王建硕的见解,我写博客的目的更单纯:记录生活的点点滴滴,记录我的时代。几年、十几年甚至几十年后,能从那留存的文字中寻找我生活的痕迹,从字里行间中寻觅出我青春的影子...

那篇英文没仔细看,我总觉得不应该虚度,不应该停止思考,不应该遗忘自己的过去,这大概就是我写blog的目的吧
